Your daily feministhistory lesson:
is our daily recap of the major milestones and minor advancements that shaped women’s history in the U.S.—from suffrage to Shirley Chisholm and beyond. These posts were written by, and are presented in homage to, our late staff historian and archivist,October 18, 1915: The most ambitious campaign ever attempted by the woman suffrage movement is coming to a close in the first of the four states that will approve or reject “Votes for Women” referenda over the next 15 days.
“Dawn and daybreak will find us on the firing line. After the polls open, our case will be in the hands of the men of New Jersey, and I think they will give us a square deal,” said Taylor. Though there was campaigning throughout the state today, six counties will pretty much determine the result, so most of the effort is being concentrated there.
Suffrage and anti-suffrage groups are both expecting a big win, according to the latest statements by each side. Many on our side are of the opinion that President Wilson’s recent announcement that he will vote for the suffrage referendum here in his home state has begun a shift that will result in victory.
